Curve & Flow: The Elegant Vision of L.A. Architect Paul R. Williams (HC)

As an orphaned Black boy growing up in America in the early 1900s, Paul R. Williams became obsessed by the concept of "home". He not only dreamed of building his own home, he turned his dreams into drawings. Defying the odds and breaking down the wall of racism, Williams was able to curve around the obstacles in his way to become a world-renowned architect. He designed homes for the biggest celebrities of the day, such as Frank Sinatra and Lucille Ball, and created a number of buildings in Los Angeles that are now considered landmarks.
